In previous work we have introduced an average-case measure for the time complexity of Boolean circuits – that is the delay between feeding the input bits into a circuit and the ...
Efficient one-pass computation of F0, the number of distinct elements in a data stream, is a fundamental problem arising in various contexts in databases and networking. We consid...
The paper investigates XML document speci cations with DTDs and integrity constraints, such as keysand foreign keys. We study the consistency problem of checking whether a given s...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
